00:20Why on earth are you doing that?
00:23Someone's got to.
00:25Yes, indeed they do.
00:26And that someone is William, or one of the mates.
00:28You're making work for yourself, Mr. Carson, and I've no sympathy with that.
00:33I'm not asking for sympathy.
00:36I don't think you should be here.
00:38What?
00:39For heaven's sake, man, if something's wrong, put it right.
00:43I'm sorry, Lang, I don't mean to snap.
00:46Nothing to worry about Malone?
00:48You've been in the trenches, I have not.
00:50I've no right to criticise.
00:52I'm not a soldier now.
00:55You've been invalided out.
00:57That is perfectly honourable.
00:58Is it?
01:01I know people look at me and wonder why I'm not in uniform.
01:05Then you refer them to me, and I'll give them a piece of my mind.
01:10Hmm?
01:15Penny, for your thoughts?
01:16They're worth a great deal more than that.
01:18Thank you very much.
01:20What is it?
01:21My papers.
01:22They've come.
01:23I've been called up.
01:23Oh, you never have.
01:25What does it mean?
01:26I'm to report for my medical next Wednesday, and once I'm through that, I go to Richmond
01:30for training.
01:30And then you go to what?
01:32With any luck.
01:33I'll be begging if it's over before I get there.
01:34Well, if they'd listen to me, it'd be over by tea time.
01:38Daisy, I wonder, would you give me a picture to take with me?
01:42I haven't got one.
01:43Then I have one taken.
01:44On your afternoon off, please.
01:46That's enough.
01:46Let her get on with her work.
01:49That's Thomas coming along.
01:51I wish he could be treated at our hospital here.
01:54Well, it's only for officers.
01:56Of course.
01:57Although, ideally, he'd love to be transferred there to work.
02:01He won't be sent back to the front?
02:02Not with his hand the way it is.
02:05It's such a pity he isn't under Dr Clarkson.
02:08We might have been able to influence him a bit.
02:10I should hope so.
02:12Why, without this family and all the money you've spent, his precious hospital wouldn't exist
02:15at all.
02:16Perhaps I'll ask his advice.
02:17You never know.
02:19I was sure you'd have a good idea of what to do for the best.
02:29Fancy a tour in England, Davies?
02:31I assume you're having me on, sir.
02:33Not at all.
02:34General Sir Herbert Stratt has asked for my transfer to be his ADC.
02:37He's touring England to boost recruitment.
02:39He's remembered that I know Manchester and Yorkshire pretty well.
02:42I mean a couple of months at home and a promotion to captain.
02:44I can't object to that.
02:48I've only got a few days before the medical, my lady.
02:51Then go and tell your father.
02:53You don't mind, do you, Carson?
02:54We must manage with no footman at all from next Wednesday.
02:57It'll be no different if we start now.
02:59And you've always got Lang.
03:02We wish you every good fortune, don't we, darling?
03:05We certainly do.
03:07Good luck, William.
03:09Thank you, my lord.
03:15So, both my footmen have gone to the war while I cut ribbons and make speeches.
03:19And keep people's spirits up, which is very important.
03:25By God, I envy them, though.
03:28I envy their self-respect and I envy their ability to sleep at night.
03:38Mr. Carson doesn't like the smell of cleaning materials in the servants' hall, not just before luncheon.
03:43Go on, Miss O'Brien.
03:45We don't want to be unfriendly, do we?
03:47You obviously don't.
03:52Never mind, finish it now you've started, but don't blame me if Mr. Carson takes a bite out of you.
03:59Hello, Mr. Lang.
04:01Everything all right?
04:02Why did you say that?
04:04No reason.
04:05I only meant I hope you're enjoying yourself.
04:07I know I would be in your shoes.
04:09You never tried for the job, did you?
04:11I never got the chance.
04:12I'd no sooner heard that Mr. Bates was gone than he arrived.
04:17What brings you here, Mr. Morsley?
04:19I was wondering if Anna was anywhere around.
04:22I could find her if you like.
04:24No, no, no, no.
04:27Just give her this.
04:28We were talking about it the other day and I came across a copy in Ripon.
04:38Elizabeth and her German garden.
04:41What's ever is that about?
04:43It's about an invitation to talk some more, that's what.
04:47Goodbye, Dr. Clarkson.
04:51Lady Grantham.
04:55I'd love to help, but it's not within my power to hook men from hither and thither as I please.
05:01That's not at all what I was asking.
05:04Forgive me, but I thought you were saying that you wanted Corporal Barrow to come and work here when he's
05:08fully recovered.
05:10I think it accredit to him that he wants to continue to serve in this way.
05:14After he's been wounded.
05:15Well, that says maybe, but it's not for me to decide what happens next.
05:30Mr. Carson, are you quite well?
05:32Oh, leave me alone.
05:39But after 24 hours, I just didn't do it.
05:41Oh, do you all right, Carson?
05:42Of course.
05:43That is perfectly all right.
05:45Your leadership, thank you.
05:47No.
05:49Cousin Isabel says Matthew's coming home in a fortnight.
05:51He's touring England with some general.
05:54We'll have a dinner when he's here.
05:57I was going to ask Richard Carlisle about then, from Saturday to Monday.
06:01Yeah, be careful, Mary.
06:03Sir Richard mustn't think you're after him.
06:05Isn't that the truth?
06:06The truth is neither here nor there.
06:08It's the look of the thing that matters.
06:10Ask Rosamund.
06:11It'll take the edge off it.
06:13That'd be nice.
06:14Like before the war.
06:16How can we manage a great pre-war house party without a single footman?
06:20Rosamund is not a house party.
06:23She's blood.
06:25I saw Mrs. Drake when I went into the village.
06:28The wife of John Drake, who has Longfield Farm.
06:32No.
06:32What did she have to say?
06:34Apparently, their final able-bodied farmhand has been called up.
06:37They need a man to drive the tractor.
06:40Hasn't Drake recovered from his illness?
06:41I thought he was better.
06:42No, he is.
06:43He's much, much better.
06:44But he doesn't drive.
06:47So I told her I could do it.
06:49What?
06:50I said I could drive the tractor.
06:52Aegis.
06:52You are a lady, not Toad of Toad Hall.
06:56Well, I'm doing it.
07:10Don't look so bewildered.
07:12It's simple.
07:14I will drive the tractor.
07:16Can you do that?
07:17Absolutely.
07:19Can you hitch up the plough or whatever it is I'm dragging?
07:22Of course.
07:24When would you like me to start?
07:27Well, I'd better get you something to wear, then.
07:30Oh, I like a bit of life in the house, but I just hope Mr Carson doesn't spontaneously combust.
07:35I had a letter yesterday.
07:38Yes?
07:39It's my sister's boy.
07:40He's with the Lancashire Fusiliers.
07:42Only he's gone missing.
07:45Missing, presumed dead, they call it.
07:48Oh, no.
07:50How did it happen?
07:51That's just it.
07:52They can't find out how it happened, why it happened, whether we can be sure it did happen,
07:56or he is a lying prisoner somewhere.
07:59Why not ask his lordship?
08:01He'll have friends in the war office.
08:02They can dig something up.
08:04Oh, well, I don't like to bother him.
08:06Why not?
08:07He's got broad shoulders.
08:12That's ever so fine, Mr Lange.
08:15However can you make those big hands do such delicate work?
08:18I expect there's no end to the things they could manage.
08:21Giving you a slap for a start.
08:28That is good.
08:29Very good.
08:31I like to see a proper skill.
08:33These days, blokes think they can be a valet if they can smile and tie a shoelace,
08:37but there's an art to it.
08:39And I can tell you've got it.
08:41My mother taught me.
08:44She was a lady's maid like you.
08:47Well, she knew what she was about.
08:49Oh, Mr Lange.
08:50As you know, Sir Richard Carlisle arrives later,
08:52and the Crawleys are coming for dinner tonight.
08:55I really can't have maids in the dining room for such a party,
08:58so I'd be grateful if you'd help me and play the footman.
09:01Me?
09:02Wait at the table?
09:04Well, it's not ideal, but I'm afraid I've no choice.
09:06The footman's liveries are in a cupboard just past Mrs Hughes' sitting room.
09:10You should find one to fit you.
09:16I'm not sure what I can do, but I'm happy to try.
09:19What's his name?
09:20Archie.
09:21That is Archibald Philpots.
09:24He was in the Lancashire Fusiliers.
09:26They think he was in northern France.
09:29You realise the most likely outcome is that he has indeed been killed?
09:33I understand, my lord.
09:35But we'd rather know the worst than wonder.
09:41Oh.
09:42Oh.
09:43Hello, Mr Molesley.
09:44What are you doing here?
09:45I asked inside and said you were over at the laundry.
09:48Lady Mary wants to read this tonight.
09:50I wasn't sure it was done.
09:51I was really wondering if you'd had a chance to read that book.
09:54You only gave it to me yesterday.
09:56Of course, of course.
09:58But when you have read it, I hope we can exchange our views.
10:02That'd be nice.
10:04Perhaps we might bring some of the others in.
10:05We could have a sort of reading club.
10:10We could do that.
10:12Or we could talk about it together, just we two.
10:20Heavens.
10:20It's later than I thought.
10:22I must get on.
10:30I'm off to change, but I wanted you to know I sent a note down to Clarkson, which should do
10:34the trick.
10:34What did you say?
10:35Only that I gathered you'd asked a favour, and given that the estate shoulders the hospital costs,
10:40it did seem a little unfair if we weren't allowed a few perks.
10:42Quite right.
10:44Thank you, darling.
10:49Well done, my lady.
10:55Ready?
10:57Ready?
10:59Come on, daddy.
11:21So the victor, the spoils.

11:35my father planted it but you have to be tough with fruit trees not let them outstay their welcome

17:33they only wanted a mascot
17:37mary tells me you're in newspapers
17:40well i own a few
17:42oh that must be quite a responsibility
17:45at a time like this you know in a war
17:48when it's so important to keep people's spirits up
17:50lady grantham my responsibility is to my investors
17:53i need to keep my readership up
17:54i leave the public spirits to government propaganda
17:57so now you've met granny

18:31i don't think i ever knew that
18:33why ain't it just ladies first
18:35wouldn't it be more polite
18:36that's the way it's done on the continent
18:37we don't like foreign ways here
18:42i gather your footman thomas has returned to the village
18:46crikey where did you see him

23:20and captain crawley
23:22is he happy with the changes
23:25so to speak
23:32may i give you one piece of advice my lady
23:37tell him what's in your heart
23:39if you still love him
23:40let him know
23:42and even if he's killed
23:43and he may be
23:46but if you don't tell him
23:48you could regret it all your life long
23:53look
23:53miss swire
23:55as if any man in his right mind
23:57could prefer miss swire to you
24:04oh i'm so sorry my lady
24:05i didn't know you were in here
24:07i was just going
24:09carson's been boosting my confidence
24:19that's something i'd never have thought she was short of
24:25what's about you sir
24:27what did you do before the war started
24:30i was up at oxford
24:34but i only have a plan to farm
24:37farm
24:37and shoot
24:39and hunt
24:40and fish
24:43and everything i'll never do again
24:46you don't know that sir
24:47we've had cases of gas blindness wearing off
24:49rare cases
24:51much sooner than this
24:53it doesn't help me to be lied to you know
24:56i'm finished
24:59and i'd rather face it than dodge it
25:03i better go
25:08where's rosamond
25:09she's with your mama
25:11trying to talk around the idea of sir richard
25:14you don't sound very enthusiastic
25:17are you
25:19can we stop for a minute
25:21don't tell me you're tired
25:22i'm not tired
25:23i'm hot
25:24this tweed is too thick
25:26it looks more suited to shooting than walking
25:29i had it made for the weekend
25:31i didn't know there was a difference
25:32it doesn't matter
25:34that's like the rich who say that money
25:35doesn't matter
25:36it matters enough when you haven't got it
25:38i know you don't care about our silly rules
25:41you're always very clear on that score
25:44you make me sound rude
25:45and i hope i'm not that
25:47i mean to learn how to do things properly
25:49and i'm sure you could help me a lot
25:52but i'm not ashamed of being
25:54what they call a self-made man
25:56i'm proud of it
25:57is the point of all this to test me in some way
26:01maybe
26:03are you shocked by my bold and modern values
26:07oh sir richard you flatter yourself
26:09it takes a good deal more than that to shock me
26:23but mama who do you imagine is out there with more to offer
26:26i'm not a romantic
26:27i should hope not
26:28but even i will concede that the heart does not exist
26:31solely for the purpose of pumping blood
26:33that is charming
26:34especially from you
26:36but mary seems to have
26:38blotted her copybook in some way
26:44so she needs a suitable marriage that will
26:47mend her fences
26:48well how do we know carlyle is suitable
26:51i mean who is he
26:52who'd ever heard of him before the war
26:54so richard is powerful and rich and well on the way to a peerage
26:58of course he may not be all that one would wish
27:00but mary can soon smooth off the rough edges
27:04well you should know
27:05what do you mean by that
27:07mama duke was a gentleman
27:09mama duke was the grandson of a manufacturer
27:12his mother was the daughter of a baronet
27:14maybe
27:15but there were no great threat to the plantagenets
27:19the point is
27:20i made up for any social deficiencies
27:23and he provided me with a position
27:24it was a good exchange and it worked well
27:27how can matthew have chosen that little blonde piece
27:30you speak so eloquently of the human heart mama
27:33you must be aware of its
27:35vagaries
27:37things cannot be as they were
27:39and whatever you might think
27:40jack has your best interests at heart
27:42stop
27:44who's jack
27:47my younger brother
27:51he means to replace me
27:55it's what he's always wanted
28:00yeah well
28:03i'm sorry
28:06i mustn't bore you
28:08don't let mark all over you
28:11you've got to fight your con
28:15what with
28:16your brain
28:19you're not a victim
28:19don't let them make you into one
28:22you know when you talk like that
28:26i almost believe you
28:27you should believe me
28:31all my life
28:35push me around
28:36just because i'm different
28:41how
28:41why are you different
28:45never mind
28:49look
28:51look i
28:52i don't know if you're gonna see again or not
28:56but i do know you have to fight back
29:09how dare you threaten me
29:11how dare i
29:12oh i assure you i dare a great deal more than that
29:14but you can't
29:15you wouldn't
29:16i didn't say i would
29:17i was merely reminding you it was in my power
29:24lady painswood
29:25the lady rosamund
29:26i'm sorry i'll get these things sorted out before too long
29:29it's not important
29:33miss soire and i were just talking about old times
29:36happy old times i hope
29:39will you forgive me i want to write some letters before dinner
29:48let's have a rest
29:50we've earned it
29:54oh i should have gone in for a glass i don't suppose you can drink out of a bottle can
29:57you my lady
29:58i wish you'd call me edith
30:00and of course i can drink from the bottle
30:07would you like me to teach you to drive
30:10not much
30:12then you wouldn't come here no more
30:15although that wouldn't matter to you
30:17why do you say that
30:21you're pretty and clever and fine
30:24you're from a different world
30:27something wrong
30:28no
30:29just having a break
30:31because you want to get into town to fetch the bone meal
30:33and be back in time to feed the cows before it's dark
30:36they could always have a midnight feast
30:43that's it
30:45that's right sir
30:46if you move the stick fast enough you don't have to slacken your pace
30:48and check the width of the space as well as any possible obstruction
30:52lieutenant courtney
30:54well done
30:55you're making good progress
30:57thanks to my saviors sir
30:59so you'll be pleased to hear that we're all agreed that it's time for you to continue your treatment elsewhere
31:04what
31:05at farley hall
31:06they're not ill anymore
31:08all you need is time to adjust to your condition
31:10and the staff at farley can help with that
31:13but sir
31:15these two are helping me heal
31:17well nurse crawley and corporal barrow are not trained in specialist care
31:21please
31:22don't send me away
31:25not yet
31:27so surely we
31:32lieutenant
31:33you must know that every one of our beds is needed
31:36for the injured and dying from arras
31:43corporal
31:44i'll see you in my office
31:47sir i only meant to say that lieutenant courtney is depressed
31:51i will not leave wounded soldiers freezing or sweating under canvas because one junior officer is depressed
31:57yes
31:57yes
31:58i thought you may want to know what i think
32:00why should i
32:02nurse crawley
32:03i may not be your social superior in a mayfair ballroom but in this hospital i have the deciding voice
32:12please help him prepare his belongings he leaves first thing in the morning
32:17anna and ethel will wait at the table and i will supervise what's wrong with that
32:21nothing except that it's how a chartered accountant would have his dinner served
32:25i can think of worse insults if you say so
32:29i don't want lang allowed anywhere near it
32:33oh mr
32:34debates where are you when we need you
32:36can you bring me the wine ledgers and i'll make a selection
32:39his lordship's already done that
32:42just try to rest
32:43to rest
32:44or to feel redundant
32:46both
32:46if it'll slow you down for a minute and a half
32:49the world does not turn on the style of a dinner
32:52my world does
32:57how does he know miss swire
32:59what
33:00miss swire
33:01they were in the garden when i came back from a mars
33:03i suppose they met in london
33:08would you like me to come back later milady
33:10no come in
33:11i was just leaving
33:19how's carson getting on
33:21oh much better milady
33:22mrs hughes is having a job keeping him in bed
33:27he gave me some advice last night
33:29oh yes
33:32was it good advice
33:34it was about honesty
33:36he thinks i should say what i really feel
33:40sounds a bit wild for mr carson
33:44do you think he's right
33:47well
33:47they do say honesty is the best policy
33:51and i think you regret being honest
33:53less often than you regret telling lies
33:58okay
34:23you must have smuggled it in a minute
34:24a razor into his bed. There was nothing to be done. It's because we ordered him to go.
34:31We don't know that. This is a tragedy, I don't deny it. But I cannot see where the course
34:37was open to me. We have no room for men to convalesce here, and Farley is the nearest
34:42house I can send them to. There is a solution, and it's staring us in the face. Downton Abbey.
34:49Would they ever allow it? Or even consider it? I think they would. After this, I think
34:59they can be made to. But Sir Richard, you don't have to... Richard, please. You see, I want
35:16you to marry me. Why? Because I think very highly of you. Very highly? Goodness. I mean
35:26it. I think we'd do well together. We could be a good team. Now that sounds better. But
35:34I can't help thinking tradition demands a literal mention of love. Oh, I can talk about love
35:42and moon and June and all the rest of it if you wish. But we're more than that. We're strong
35:48and sharp. And we could build something worth having you and I, if you'll let us. Your proposal
35:54is improving by leaps and bounds. You must give me some time. But I promise to think about
36:03it properly. I'm counting on it.
36:21just keep your surprise, guys.
36:26Thank you, I can't believe you, it's all right? All right, let's just think of it.
36:37Right to the other day, back to the day.
36:39Our ladyship had Mrs. Papwell make this up for you,
36:41so you could eat something during the day.
36:43Oh, I'm out of time.
36:48Oh, Matthew.
36:50I'm afraid I'm very busy, as you can see.
36:52Yes, I just want to help.
36:53It's right over there.
36:54Over there.
37:01Is it what you thought it would be?
37:03No.
37:04No, it's more savage and more cruel than I could have imagined,
37:07but I feel useful for the first time in my life,
37:09and that must be a good thing.
37:12Matthew, are you busy?
37:13No, of course not.
37:15So you're not going to be there.
37:19Quite safe.
37:21So you wouldn't go back to your life before the war?
37:25No.
37:27No, I can never go back to that again.
37:41Bavinia?
37:47What's the matter?
37:49Are you looking for Matthew?
37:51I was.
37:53But it's not important.
37:57Tell me what it is, please.
38:02He has to go a day early.
38:03Tomorrow morning, in fact.
38:05Only to meet his general, surely.
38:08Not back to France.
38:10But he must go back one day.
38:13I can't stop thinking about what I'd do if anything happened to him.
38:16I know he'll be all right.
38:19No, you don't.
38:21None of us do.
38:24We say that sort of thing, but we don't know.
38:28If he died, I don't think I could go on living.
38:37What's doing?
38:39Excuse me.
38:48Lavinia's a bit upset.
38:50She's awfully cut up that I have to go early.
38:53But it's only to Coventry.
38:54It doesn't sound too dangerous.
38:57If you're looking for Mother, she's at the hospital.
38:59I've just come from there.
39:01Actually, it's you I came to see.
39:03How can I help?
39:06Mary, can you stay for luncheon?
39:10I can't.
39:11But thank you.
39:17So what was your mission?
39:19Just to say...
39:23We hope you're still coming for dinner tonight.
39:26Certainly we are.
39:27Why wouldn't we?
39:28Sure.
39:29It'll be your last evening.
39:32Why?
39:32Don't you want me?
39:33Of course I want you.
39:35Very much.
39:37I'm sorry you've had a wasted journey.
39:38Not at all.
39:40I needed an excuse for a walk.
39:44I'll see you at eight.
39:55Ethel said you wanted me.
39:56No, no.
39:57I just need a word with you.
39:59If it's about that book, I'm afraid...
40:01No, no, no.
40:01It's not about the book.
40:03What is it then?
40:06I understand that Mr. Bates is gone for good.
40:10Yes.
40:11I believe that's true.
40:14So I was hoping...
40:17We might be able to see a little more of each other.
40:22Mr. Moseley...
40:24I take this as a real compliment.
40:29But it's not going to happen.
40:31No.
40:33You see...
40:37If you had a child and that child was taken from you,
40:42if the child was sent to the moon,
40:45there'd never be one day when they were out of your thoughts.
40:49Nor one moment when you weren't praying for their welfare,
40:52even if you knew you'd never see them again.
40:55Well, that's you, Mr. Bates.
40:59That's me, Mr. Bates.
41:03But thank you.
41:16I've kept you too long.
41:18You'd better get back or they'll come looking for you.
41:20We've done a lot, haven't we?
41:21We have.
41:23I'll be forced to invent some tasks.
41:25There'll be no need for you to come much more.
41:26Then start inventing, please.
41:29I will.
41:31Because I'd hate it if you were to stay away.
41:34So would I.
41:37I'd absolutely hate it.
41:50I can't believe I've done that.
41:53I'm awfully glad you did.
41:55You'd have me thrown in the table.
41:57Only if they give me the key.
41:59Fold it in.
42:00Don't slap it.
42:02You're making a cake, not beating a carpet.
42:06Sorry, Lordship, I didn't see you there.
42:08It's quite all right, Mrs. Patmore.
42:10I wonder, is there somewhere we could have a word?
42:13Uh, why not go into my sitting room?
42:19Please sit.
42:24I do have some news of your nephew.
42:26I telephoned the war office and they've just come back to me.
42:29But I'm afraid it's not good news.
42:31I knew he was dead all along.
42:33I said so to my sister.
42:34I said, Kate, I said, he's gone and you'll have to face it.
42:36Mrs. Patmore, it's worse than that.
42:39What can be worse than being dead?
42:43Private Philpott's was shot for cowardice on the 17th of February.
42:48Oh, my God.
42:50This explains why the regiment was reluctant to supply information.
43:00Mrs. Hughes, could you come in, please?
43:11Mrs. Patmore has had some bad news.
43:13Her nephew has been killed.
43:15Oh, he never has.
43:16And that's not all.
43:17It is all, Mrs. Patmore.
43:20Let us make sure it is all.
43:22Your sister needs to know no more than this.
43:25We cannot know the truth.
43:27We should not judge.
43:33I think it's a ridiculous idea.
43:36Why?
43:36Because this is a house, not a hospital.
43:39But, Granny, a convalescent home is where people rest and recuperate.
43:42But if there are relapses, what then?
43:45Amputation in the dining room?
43:47Resuscitation in the pantry?
43:48It would certainly be the most tremendous disturbance
43:50if you knew how chaotic things are as it is.
43:52But when there's so much good can be done...
43:56I forbid it
43:58to have strange men prodding and prying around the house
44:02to say nothing of pocketing the spoons.
44:05It's out of the question.
44:07I hesitate to remind you, but this is my house now.
44:09Robert's and mine.
44:10And we will make the decision.
44:17Oh, I see.
44:20So now I'm an outsider
44:22who need not be consulted.
44:24Since you put it like that, yes.
44:29What was it like at the hospital today?
44:34At the front,
44:37the men pray to be spared, of course.
44:42But if that's not to be,
44:46they pray for a bullet that kills them cleanly.
44:54For too many of them today,
44:55that prayer had not been answered.
45:00We'll eat in about 20 minutes.
45:02Good.
45:03Would you have any to spare for a poor traveller?
45:07William, I don't believe it.
45:08Pinch me.
45:09I am your dream come true.
45:11You like a real soldier?
45:12I am a real soldier, thank you very much.
45:14Now come and give me a kiss.
45:15Oh, we'll have none of that.
45:18Won't you let a Tommy kiss his sweetheart,
45:20Mrs Patmore,
45:20when he's off to fight the hun?
45:22Have you finished your training?
45:23Not yet, but he won't be long now.
45:25On the eve of departure, we'll see.
45:26But right now, put her down.
45:30Trevor, what do you think?
45:32There.
45:33It's my identity.
45:40William, what a treat to see you.
45:42And how smart you look.
45:45Welcome.
45:46Thanks.
45:47The supper won't be long.
45:48I'm just going up to clear the dining room.
45:50Shall I help?
45:51Of course not.
45:52You're in the army now.
45:56So, still full of the joys of warfare?
45:59Well, I'm not sorry to be part of it, Mr Lang,
46:01and I can't pretend I am.
46:02Oh, yes, you're part of it.
46:04Like a metal cog is part of a factory,
46:06and a grain of sand is part of the beach.
46:08It's all right, Mr Lang, I understand.
46:11And I'm not saying I'm important to her out like that.
46:14But I believe in this war.
46:17I believe in what we're fighting for,
46:18and I want to do my bit.
46:22Thank God help you.
46:24Thank God help you.
46:37Edith seems jolly tonight.
46:39She's found her metier.
46:41Farm laboring.
46:43Don't be so tough on her.
46:44That's like asking the fox to spare the chicken.
46:49What about you?
46:50Last time you told me good news was imminent.
46:53Would you be happy if it were?
46:54Of course.
46:57I've found someone now.
46:59And I want you to do the same.
47:03If you're taking another minute to make up your mindset,
47:05we'd all have marched over the cliff.
47:08And I'll tell you something else as well.
47:10William's got more to say than a parliamentary candidate.
47:15What's the matter?
47:15I know it's my fault,
47:17but I wish I hadn't let him think
47:19that we're like sweethearts.
47:21Because we're not.
47:22Not by my reckoning anyway.
47:24Too late for second thoughts now, missy.
47:28You don't have to marry him when it comes to him.
47:30But you can't let him go to war with a broken heart.
47:33Or he won't come back.
47:38What a time we've had.
47:40Poor Sir Richard must have thought he'd come to a madhouse.
47:44I don't expect it'll put him off.
47:51I'm going to accept him.
47:57Do you think I should?
48:00That's not for me to say.
48:05If you love him more than anyone in the world,
48:07then of course you should.
48:10It's not as simple as that.
48:12Oh?
48:13It is for me.
48:16But then I'm not your ladyship.
48:21Did you love Bates
48:22more than anyone else in the world?
48:25I did.
48:27I do.
48:29I'll never love again like I love him.
48:32Never.
48:36Well, there you are then.
48:38One day you'll
48:40meet someone else
48:41and you'll
48:41marry.
48:44Perhaps
48:44it'll be second best, but
48:47it doesn't mean you can't have a life.
48:52I think it does
48:53for me.
48:58Are you sure you should be doing this, Carson?
49:01We've managed very well with Mrs Hughes.
49:03Quite sure, my lord.
49:04And breakfast is not a taxing assignment.
49:08Edith, this is a message for you.
49:10Mrs Drake writes that they've decided to hire a man,
49:13so they won't be needing you anymore.
49:15Is that all she says?
49:16Oh, well, she's very grateful.
49:19Here we are.
49:19She says,
49:20she and Drake send their thanks to you
49:21for giving up so much of your valuable time.
49:24I expect it's rather a relief.
49:27Oh, I wouldn't say that.
49:30Not entirely.
49:31Has Lady Sybil gone already?
49:32She had a tray at half past six.
49:34She would.
49:35Carson, have they told you
49:36we're to be turned into a hospital?
49:38A convalescent home.
49:40I'm afraid we've all bullied you
49:41into the whole thing.
49:43I hope you're not dreading it too much.
49:45Not dreading it, exactly,
49:46but it's a brave new world
49:47we're headed for,
49:48no doubt about that.
49:50We must try to meet it
49:51with as much grace as we can muster.
